Warfare Poem by Black Consciousness Poetry BCP

Biological warfare
HIV, Ebola, H1N1
Swine tactics tactically hidden
In fables of Animal Farms
Written in 1984
Or not, O'Well

Global surveillance on CCTV on 24hr
Starring ordinary people and set everywhere
Privacy vs security
The former is not given a priority

Phone tapping
Email interception
Internet profiling
And I am not going to mention Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
They know WhatsApp

Poverty is sponsored by the same people
That are funding this war
To keep us where we are
Because they already have us where they want us
Dying every day, one by one from ignorance
Because bliss is promised on the other side
Yes they do want you to turn the other cheek
While injecting viruses in our babies through vaccines

This is war
Can you not see
Of course you can
You are just looking at what they want you to see
Creating for you a surreal fantasy
That feeds on your consumerism and artificial tendencies

Cultural and economic genocide
Is perpetrated by imperialism
And perpetuated by neo-colonial puppet politics
In conjunction with neo-liberalism.
